How do I restore purchases on Apple devices?

Apple currently uses the Apple ID and the iCloud account to manage in-app purchases. All transactions are bound to your Apple ID, so you can restore them easily. iCloud is also used to manage subscription cycles and expirations.

As a general rule recommend using the same email account for both your Apple ID account and your iCloud account to restore purchases easily on any iOS device. This will also help with your Family sharing account.

First, do the following to restore your subscription:

go to the App Settings

Tap Restore subscription

Type your password if needed

This should restore your past purchases. If this did not help, try logging out of your Apple ID, log back in.

If logging back in didn't help, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the app from your device to make sure no corrupted data would conflict with your purchases. Then, check if you're logged in to the right account on your device:

Go to your device Settings

For iOS 10 and above, tap your name on top

Scroll down to iCloud and App and iTunes Stores

Verify these are the same accounts you used to purchase content. You can verify the iTunes purchase history on your PC/Mac. Go to this page for more information.

This is very important, as purchases are tied to the Apple ID you won't be able to restore purchased content if you're using a different account.

Search for the app on the App Store

Download the version, you should see a cloud icon next to itNOTE: if the icon is not there, this means the Apple ID you're using did not download this app before

Your purchases should automatically be restored after you boot the app

If your purchases were not restored and you're connected to the right iCloud account and Apple ID, try the following (iOS 10):

Open the App Store app

Tap Featured icon at the bottom 10 times

Open the app
